Leo has also received seven Golden Ball awards, more than any other football player in history, and won 4 trophies with Argentina’s national football team, including the 2022 World Cup, where he captained the team to victory. Messi’s next chapter will be spent training under the Florida sunshine, having joined the US team Inter Miami CF.
Today, he is considered by many to be ‘The Greatest of All Time’ – and is a hero off the pitch, too, as a committed ambassador for UNICEF and founder of his own children’s charity. This inspiring book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of Messi’s incredible story.
